tommyjamesallen Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 I bought these strings a few months ago, put them on my bass and after one practice I decided that they weren't for me, so I took them off and they've been in their box ever since, so good as new really. They cost me £85 so how does £50 posted sound. Cheers Tom
Beedster Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Any idea how they compare with Silver Slaps Tom? Chris
tommyjamesallen Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 Chris I think that Silver Slaps are a much lower tension and nylon wound, whereas the Honeys are a more normal tension and chrome tape wound. Hope that helped. Tom.
Beedster Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks Tom, if they're higher tension than the slaps i'm not sure I've got it in me Chris
Owen Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 MAN UP CHRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To be serious (not trying to sell them to Chris) these are the best pizz/arco string I have found so far. I'm sure there are other ones around, but these are pretty dandy.

[/quote] LOL, fair enough Owen, althoughI thought I was man enough with the slaps (quite high action on my DB after all). Tempted to give them a go as whilst I love the slaps for bluegrass/blues style, I do find them something of a one-trick pony. C
